Backwards rebound?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I just got my WP forks back from getting revalved. Before this, turning the rebound knob clockwise would make the forks stiffer and slower rebounding. Now, turning clockwise makes it lighter and quicker, more springy.
I spent 4 hrs yesterday riding and setting up susp. With the rebound knob fully counter clockwise, I could barely even compress the forks at all, it was stiff as a board.
Could whatever controls the rebound been installed backwards or upside down? Is this possible?

Hi ME, from what I know. the knob are only adjusting the
needle inside valve body which control how big is the orifice.

I wonder how it would work opposite now?
May Jer or other expert may help you out with this.:D

Sorry i have no idea but i have know others to have rebound problems after a service-all i can add is to take them back-any good tuners will stand bu there work.

well, I am definitely going to call them back. He's supposed to be a pretty reputable guy.
I'm just wondering if anyone heard of this happening before, and why it would do this.
I am going to ask him if he can redo the forks. But other than saying the rebound is backward and feels weird, its kind of vague as to whats wrong. It just doesn't work right.
